This workshop, one of the Higher Education Academy
Discipline Workshop and Seminar Series, examines the way art and design
institutions have responded to the challenges of including students from a wide
range of backgrounds. It will provide the historical context and then discuss
the theory of diversity through the concepts of critical pedagogy and social
justice.
It will consider the diversity work at an individual and
also an institutional level. The individual examples used to discuss this will
be provided by reflections of diverse successful students from the archive of
the Tell Us About It Project , housed at UAL.
These responses from students range from
artefacts/videos/sketch books/paintings reflecting on the teaching and learning
process.
It will also use the examples of staff who have been
involved in small scale curriculum interventions to make some changes within
their practice. It will also discuss the institutional practices and
developments that can bring about change. This will use as an example the
development of the project Shades of Noir.
